(Senior) Product Manager
Your Impact
Procurement is the single biggest cost position for industrial companies - often 60-70% of revenue. It's also their biggest lever to drive profitability - something the European industry needs more urgently than ever. However, most companies still run procurement manually with outdated tools.
